Tech seems to have found a D the last 2 weeks...let's see if they can keep it up.

And a Tecd sack as i type :D

Or do we want to be #1 going to Baton Rouge :?

If Tech wins and we're #1...we can't really "help it"...'ya know? We just need to take care of our biz.

HOWEVER...

If we are #1, we don't have to worry about getting jumped if we win out. This whole, "Penn Sate is gonna jump 'Bama" stuff will be over. If we are #1 we have a nice gap in respect to playing for the title game.

I mean, to get to the title game we gotta win out anyway; might as well have a "buffer" to play with.

In respect to the topic, I see holes all over the Texas defense, so even if they come back to beat Tech...I see holes.

Rolltide 1980- I agree with you, but what i am saying is; we have seen a lot of teams get up to play the "#1" team in the country, and going into Baton Rouge is going to be tough as it is, let alone with a bullseye of #1 on us.
 
I have this feeling Tech will lead by 4 TD's at the half, then lose by 7 in the end. Their defense is not as good as it looks, and I doubt they can keep it up.

Texas' defense cannot stay in zone and expect to win this game. They are going to have to man up or lose.

yeah, they are ripping that zone apart. Tech's defense has come along ways and their offensive line is hella good.

Texas will turn this into a ball game, they just need to make some adjustments.

I hear ya man. :)

The game against LSU is going to be hell on wheels so we might as well come in as the top dog.

On the "fan side" of things, it's about time 'Bama got back to #1. I've waited for this...FOR YEARS!

If Tech holds on...here is my top 4

1-Bama
2-Penn State
3-Texas Tech
4-Florida

Just my opinion.

The horns have 1 first down and 18 total yards almost halfway through the second quarter.

Tech just turned it over, but I don't know that UTex can overcome the TT offense. They cannot stop the run or pass.

I hope UT doesn't get back in the redzone... but we are talking about Texas Tech. They are going to have to prove to me they can win a big game before I buy any stock. And UT is known for coming alive in the 2nd half of games where they got slapped around in the first half.

You can't score if you don't have the ball. Texas Tech has claimed that ball in the name of the Red Raiders.

Edit:

My biggest concern for the Red Raiders is special teams. They cannot score 3 and give up a TD on a return.

TT torched Oklahoma like this last year. OK never seemed to be able to get out of that haze of "what just happened."

speaking of Oklahoma, they still have to play A&M, Tech, and Okie State...they will lose another one, either Tech or State.
